CVE-2024-41970Network attack vector

Diagnostic traffic disclosure via world-readable capture files

Published Nov 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025

Incorrect permissions in WAGO controllers and panels allow remote authenticated users to read diagnostic packet captures over SSH. The Network Capture feature writes traffic files under /var/tmp/pcap with world-readable permissions instead of limiting them to administrators. Exploitation requires low-privileged SSH access and a capture containing useful plaintext traffic; exposed HTTP or FTP sessions can reveal administrator credentials.
